My best friends both transmigrated into a book and married powerful officials; she left me and I lef

Immediately afterwards, Meng Youning leisurely returned to Yunyan Pavilion to prepare for the palace banquet that night.

The Grand Secretary's Residence, within the Hibiscus Garden.

"Miss." Yu Po bent down and poured a cup of tea, then respectfully handed it to Sang Luan. "I won't be by your side at the banquet, and there's no one to help you. There are many people and things to watch out for at the banquet, so you must be careful."

Sang Luan took the teacup, tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp. "Don't worry, your young lady isn't made of dough. She's not so easy to bully."

Yu Po nodded slightly, her head lowered, and her lips murmured a few times.

"Don't worry about it." Seeing her like this, Sang Luan couldn't help but pat her hand.

“Most of the ministers will be attending the palace banquet, so you’ll definitely run into the master and madam.” After a moment of silence, Yu Po suddenly spoke up.

Before she could finish speaking, Sang Luan waved her hand and said, "Then there's even less to worry about. I believe my parents will be happy to see that I have finally fulfilled my long-cherished wish."

Yu Po's eyes were filled with complicated emotions; she was worried that the master would be driven half to death by the young lady again.

Sang Luan tapped her fingers lightly on the table. This time, besides making a contribution at the palace banquet, she also needed to take this opportunity to understand the other person's likes and dislikes, and to find out his attitude towards her and Ningning's divorce, so that she could make it seem reasonable to propose a divorce in the future.

“Yu Po.” Sang Luan raised her head slightly and couldn’t help but speak, “Do you know His Majesty’s likes and dislikes?”

Yu Po looked startled, lowered her voice, and said urgently, "Once you leave Furong Garden, please don't ask everyone you meet. If someone with ulterior motives hears you, not only you, but also Master and Madam will be implicated."

“I’m not stupid. I definitely won’t talk nonsense once I get out.” Sang Luan looked at her amusedly. “Besides, I just want to know the general direction, not to find out where we are.”

It's no wonder Yu Po was so nervous. Although the current emperor is considered wise, even the most wise ruler would not allow any threat to his country.

After saying that, Yu Po's expression visibly relaxed. "You might be able to ask the master about this. He has the most contact with the Emperor, so he will surely know what Miss wants to know."

Sang Luan silently kept those words in mind, then stopped talking. The next moment, she suddenly stood up and looked around.

No, she had to be fully prepared. If the inspectors didn't manage to catch the assassins in time, or if they split up, there would still be danger at the banquet.

Suddenly, a light flashed in his eyes. "Oh right, I remember there was a gold-threaded soft armor that my great-grandmother left me when she passed away. Where did you put it?"

The person who created this golden silk soft armor put a lot of effort into it; even obtaining the thousand-year-old spirit silkworm silk was extremely difficult.

In order to please Feng Hengzhi, the original owner readily gave up the white moonlight, which was then given to him by Feng Hengzhi when the white moonlight appeared.

Bai Yueguang felt that the golden silk armor was unworthy of her title as a medical saint, so she casually tossed it to a beggar.

Unfortunately, the white moonlight was injured that very day, and Feng Hengzhi directly blamed the original owner of the body for it.

He stormed back to the mansion in a rage and slapped the original owner without saying a word, causing the original owner to be devastated.

Thinking of this, Sang Luan rolled her eyes inwardly.

What a pair of crazy people!

In the blink of an eye, Yu Po found the golden silk soft armor.

Sang Luan couldn't take her eyes off it after just one glance. She touched it and found it to be a little cold, but it gave her a great sense of security.

She promptly put it on, which reassured her a lot.

Seeing her young mistress tuck the dagger into her body again, Yu Po hurriedly reminded her in a trembling voice, "These things will be searched by the guards when entering the palace."

Sang Luan exclaimed, a hint of disappointment flashing across her face, "Oh, I see."

Immediately, she decisively opened the jewelry box and chose the hairpin with the thinnest tip.

While choosing, she muttered to herself, "This one is pointed, I'll get one. One isn't enough, I'll get two, and two for Ningning too."

Yu Po, standing to the side, looked completely bewildered. "Miss, are you going to the palace banquet or to the Ministry of Justice?"

Sang Luan paused, then made a shushing gesture, "Don't look, don't listen, don't ask."

Yu Po quickly covered her mouth with both hands and nodded repeatedly.

Three hours later.

Shen Shi.

Sang Luan walked out slowly with cat-like steps.

The people in the front hall glanced at it and fell silent for a moment.

Who is that person with hairpins all over their head, looking like a hedgehog?

Sang Luan felt that four hairpins were not enough, so she put all the hairpins she could see on her temples.

Aside from his head being a little heavy, there's nothing else wrong with him.

Liu Wenxian's pupils widened, and she took three steps forward in two, staring at the head full of pearls and jade. With a complicated expression, she reached out and pulled out a hairpin, then casually threw it on the ground. "You plan to go to the palace banquet like this?"

Sang Luan gave a standard smile and said, "Yes."

Liu Wenxian sighed and turned to the people around her, demanding, "Who was responsible for her hair and makeup?"

A young maidservant stepped forward timidly and knelt down in a panic, "Reporting to Madam, the young mistress chose her own makeup today..."

Before she could finish speaking, Liu Wenxian waved her hand and said, "What are you people doing here? She's being unreasonable, and you all just let her be. Hurry up and change her clothes for me, and be quick."

The little maid nodded shakily, hurriedly lifted her clothes to get up, and pulled Sang Luan downstairs to wash and groom herself again.

Half an hour later.

"Hurry up, everyone, the carriages are ready." Feng Shinian said this before hurrying out.

Although Feng Shinian currently holds no official position, he is an exception and is allowed to attend the palace banquet.

Feng Hengzhi's impatience was quite obvious. His gaze fell on the cup of tea in his hand. Now, even a cup of tea was more attractive than that woman.

He glanced up casually and saw Sang Luan not far away, her head slightly lowered and her back bent. A maid was supporting her wrist as she straightened her dress and stepped out of the hanging flower gate.

The next moment, she suddenly looked up, and the flower ornament on her forehead was particularly eye-catching. Her waterfall-like hair hung down her back, and the butterfly hairpins on her temples and the pearls hanging from the flower branches swayed gently with her movements.

There was a thin line at the corner of her eye that naturally curved upwards, and her eyes were captivating as they moved.

Today, she was more charming than usual, with every smile and gesture, but without appearing overly seductive.

A touch of makeup powder on her face made her look completely natural.

With a single raised eyebrow, Qiu Niang was a beauty that could topple kingdoms and captivate the world.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Feng Hengzhi silently withdrew his gaze, stood up, and turned slightly to the side. "With such impure thoughts, you are truly despicable!"

This woman is utterly useless except for her beauty.
